The Athena Project was developed with, and commissioned by CMS Cameron McKenna to highlight the importance of female role models, mentors and leaders. Portraits of women within the firm, their clients and the UK Government feature in a permanent display at the London firm as well as touring the UK as part of an ongoing programme showcasing their achievements and pioneering stories to a wider audience.

As well as Managing Directors, General Counsels, Chief Financial Operating Officers and Legal Partners, portraits also include Fiona Woolf, the second female Lord Mayor of London in 800 years, Baroness Patricia Scotland, the first black female government minister and first female Attorney General, and Helen Grant, the (then) Minister for Sport and Equalities.
